“Excellent client service”

Always friendly and helpful. Online shopping is quick and easy. Great variety of clothing for all ages and shapes. Appreciate the option to click and collect, as it saves on shipping costs. Returns, if needed, are hassle-free as postage is deducted from the refund, so you can quickly put it back in the post using the supplied label. He has been a satisfied customer for years. This page is reliable, I had a great shopping experience.

“They won't refund your money”

I returned something after 30 days and received a gift card -- not a problem. But when I used the gift card on a huge order and returned a small portion of the order within 30 days, they gave me another gift card. I asked why I didn't receive a refund to my credit card, and they said they refund the gift card first. So if I bought $10,000 in new stuff and returned one item, they'd pay me back in a gift card again. So it's an endless loop of never being able to use the gift card if I return anything from a new order, no matter how large the new order is. Garbage policy. Annoying little scam.

I received my boots on a very good price almost 50 percent off and when I got them, one boot had 2 very noticeable scuff marks on it. I had to Google how to get it off bc I didn't feel like messing with a return for the price I paid. But will not order from this website again. It was my 1st and last time.

I ordered 3 pairs of shoes and was waiting for a long time to receive them. Finally decided to call and was told that order for all 3 pairs was canceled, because they were out of stock! I did not receive any email regarding this cancellation and found out about this only by calling.
I am wondering why you take order if you don't have inventory…
Very frustrating!

Received apology instead of 3 pairs shoes…

Reason I chose this product:

Nice styles for flats.

I ordered these shoes and the order defaulted to narrow, which I didn't realize until I got the confirmation. I immediately emailed and called to cancel the order and was told, also by email, that the order was cancelled. Two weeks later, the shoes arrived. I have to confirm that I was charged. I intend to return these shoes and request complimentary return postage.

I was told the order was cancelled but I received the shoes anyway.

Reason I chose this business:

It appeared to have the shoe and size I wanted, but the order defaulted to narrow.

Reason I chose this product:

It is the color I am looing for.

I was sent the wrong shoes and now I have to locate a ups location to send them back. The shoes I ordered are now out of stock -- except for the company's ebay and Amazon stores that appear to have plenty -- but exchanging them for what I ordered was not possible. I found another source and bought them elsewhere. I won't be purchasing from Shoebacca again. Trying to find time to get them to ups.

The rep was very understanding but had no way to make it happen. His service was great.

Reason I chose this product:

I wanted them.

Order a pair of boots for a Christmas present, and paid extra to make sure they would be here in time. Was told the 21st of December, and here we are the 23rd and they haven't even been shipped! Contacted customer service to be told that the delay is due to them being shipped from a sister warehouse and they can't cancel the order. How can you not cancel an order that hasn't been shipped? I wouldn't trust this place with anything! I hope this place goes under for being a scam

I got no notification that my order was received. Got no notification my order had been shipped. Got no invoice or paperwork with the order.
Also, could not log into my account with my email address, and it had to be changed in order for me to return the merchandise and it took 25 minutes over the phone to do this with someone whose accent was so thick. I could barely understand them.

See description of above

Reason I chose this business:

I will not be ordering from this company again

Reason I chose this product:

Because they were supposedly a narrow size

I never got an email when the shoes shipped, the k swiss running shoes have harder leather material over the woven material that punches both the large toe and the small toe with each and every step. When you bend the shoe with your hand(not on) it is obviously a horrible shoe design. I truly doubt that this flaw was not known to k swiss before i purchased them.

Terrible experience. Waited for delivery, and 10 days after supposed delivery date no product, no notification from Shoebacca of any problem. Had to call 3x and email 2x and finally after me calling the third time, said I'd get a refund. I had to do all the work, they never reached out to me. We'll see, not optimistic.

The tracking showed the return package was received over a month ago but no refund and no acknowledgement in my account that the return was received. Called four times --- each time the customer service apologized, agreed that it was received, promised me it will be resolved, and asked me to call back in a week. Did that four times. No refund. Every time the reason was "we are processing. It may take some time" or "our system has an issue. It happens but we are on it". The "the supervisor" even gave me his name and asked me to call him back. When I did, "the supervisor" was talking to "upper management" and cannot talk to me.

The agents were polite but helpless. I do not think it is their fault that the return was not given but sorry --- when your system always "has an issue", these people in the front line had to face unhappy customers.

Tip for consumers:
terrible experience for return on my first order. will not use this site anymore. wonder how it got the good reviews.

The shoes were way too big. Im not even sure they're true Pumas. They have marks on then like they've been worn or handled before and the return 8s a pain in the behind. I don't have the box or order number and the website didn't keep track of my order.

Do not believe the website. It claims that if you can put it in your cart, it's in stock. That is false. They will take and process your money, cancel your order days later, and not issue a refund in a timely process. Do not trust this company.

Shoebacca website says item will ship in 5 to 7 days. I called on day 10 to get status and was told they had ordered the item from a different vendor in Tennessee and it would take up to two weeks for delivery. Knowing that I requested cancellation of the order. My request was refused due to "company policy". I asked to speak to a supervisor or even a Shoebacca company owner and my request was refused. Shoebacca should evaluate their communication practices.

Customer service didn't solve the problem and declined to "pass me up the line."

Reason I chose this business:

Thought I would try a different vendor that made big claims about their service.

Reason I chose this product:

Needed better fitting shoes
